I got it about 2 years ago and after many headaches, its been sitting quietly by itself haha -- but before that occurred I used Shape Moth's tutorial to make a paper piecing pattern that worked really well!! -- http://shape-moth.blogspot.com/2011/12/designing-paper-piecing-patterns-in-eq7.html

I couldn't create the majority of my patterns without EQ7, even my applique BOMs are done on it. Shout me if you get stuck, there's no real tips to give you until you get going and come across a stumbling block :) There are videos on YouTube that you may find useful though.

Oh, awesome! I've been looking at buying this program (currently there's a poll on Massdrop for a group buy of EQ7, so I'm keeping fingers crossed on getting it). Know that I will need guidance in using it, so am keen to learn along with you, Susan.

There are very useful video tutorials within the help section of the program, and also the book is totally helpful. You just need to sit and go through the chapters. You will see what your needs are, and can skip some parts you don,'t need for now. I know once you figure it out you will love it! I love the option to be able to scan my own fabrics and see the end result before I even took a stitch! I haven't explored the applique options yet. Good luck to you and enjoy!

I've had it for years and love it. I went through all the Lessons that were included and worked through the book (I'm wired that way). Now I just find out how to do what I want to when I get to it. There is a great help section in the programme, and the website has lovely ideas and suggestions to get ideas from, as well as free patterns to play with. Enjoy!

Greetings from Oklahoma, USA. I follow you on bloglovin too. I love your project, fabric and would just love to win this. This reminds me of some place mats you did earlier. crystalbluern at onlineok dot com
